Ojai is a riding destination in its own right. Highway 33 heads north from town through the Wheeler Gorge tunnels and up the Maricopa Highway toward Pine Mountain. Highway 150 climbs east over the Dennison Grade toward Santa Paula, and to the west it runs past Lake Casitas to Carpinteria. On weekends you will see bikes parked around Libbey Park and the Ojai Avenue Arcade between rides.
The catch is coverage. North of Wheeler Gorge on Highway 33, cell signal is spotty or gone for long stretches, so a lost key at a Rose Valley or Pine Mountain turnout takes some planning. In town, in Meiners Oaks, in Oak View or along the Ojai Valley Trail, we come to the bike to make keys, remove broken ones and repair ignitions. Have your photo ID and registration or title with you.

Ojai motorcycle key FAQ
I lost my key up Highway 33 and there is no cell signal. What should I do?
Secure what you can, note the nearest turnout, mile marker or landmark such as Wheeler Gorge or Rose Valley, then get to signal or back to Ojai to call. Tell us exactly where the bike is. We come to it if it can be reached safely, and towing it to town is the fallback for spots that are too remote or unsafe.
Can you come to the bike at Lake Casitas?
Yes. The recreation area has a gated entrance, so let the gate staff know a locksmith is coming and tell us which parking area the bike is in. Have your photo ID and registration or title with you.
My bike sat for months in a barn outside Ojai and now the key will not turn. Can it be fixed?
Locks that sit for a long time can seize from dust, moisture or corrosion. Do not force the key, since that is how keys snap. We can free up or repair the ignition, or replace it and match your keys if needed.
